immediately replacing the weight on my shoulders of writing the essay with the much heavier weight of another human reading it

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 2h

am in my third year now and still experience a slight wave of terror every time i submit a tutorial essay in case it's the worst thing anybody has ever written

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 7h

a-level vibes r also being heightened by the fact i'm currently writing about a text i studied for a-level english lit...

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 8h

every time i fully finish a pen (which nowadays is fairly rare, but did just happen) i feel like i'm being taken back to a-level revision when i was getting through a biro a day... those were some rough times...

well i solved the problem of my skating friends not knowing i have green hair… now i need to embroider my tattoos on all the long sleeves i wear to protect my elbow skin whilst skating…

success!!

a bright green skate helmet with a dark green headlight round it and a sticker that says “I have green hair under my helmet”.

and then you can teach each other your tricks and it's just like teaching your friends how to do a cartwheel on the village green (except now the cartwheel is on roller skates)

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 13h

roller skating is literally just playing out but as an adult... like being on skates means u can socialise the same way you do as a child where u can just go up to someone else on skates and ask them their name and if they want to play with you lol

everyone wants to know the secret to making friends as an adult and it's literally just roller skating. last night i went out skating alone, met someone else on skates whilst i was out and become great friends, and then got back to college where a load of freshers asked me how to get into skating

This is a sneak preview of our poster image as we finalise details - it’s a coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson after G M Woodward from 1801 called ‘The Quack Doctor’s Prayer’ with a kneeling doctor praying over a box with a duck drawn on it. In the background there’s a candelabra and pink hangings.

the worst habit i've picked up lately is that whenever i learn a new trick (or really do anything other than just walking in a straight line), i have to declare i'm in x-games mode. i can only imagine this is really annoying to everyone around me, but it is important to celebrate your achievements..

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 1d

quizlet just gets more busy and noisy every time i log on, but i've been using it for an entire decade (half my lifetime!) and i'm too deep in to switch to anki (or physical flashcards) now...

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 1d

15 second video adverts on quizlet are diabolical and will 100% be my scapegoat if i don't get a first

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 2d

now i just need to speed it up and learn to roll in and out of it—but i am extremely happy with this on my first day attempting it!!

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 2d

i learnt how to cartwheel on skates and i am very happy about this development in my life… it rocks being someone who can cartwheel on roller skates

happy 40th bday to les mis (the musical in english)... but more importantly it is almost the 100th bday of henri fescourt's 1925 les mis film and i would really really like pathé to finally release the 2014 restoration of it on dvd

last night around 1am i was feeling a bit crap so i just went out rollerskating for half an hour! when i felt crap at 1am as a child/teenager i just had to cry myself to sleep lol

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 4d

i am filled with a little spark of joy every time i remember that, no matter what, at least i never have to be a child ever again

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 4d

i fucking love being an adult and doing whatever i want. tonight i went to a dodie gig and then went to the library for a very productive and enjoyable 5 hours!

i do not want to revise german verbs and i do not want to ever be reminded of being 16

Chloe Wilcox @sadpphicstanza.bsky.social · 4d
